ANCIENTS OF OOGA ARTICLES

July 6, 2010 - Ancients of Ooga is a breezy puzzle platformer that will appeal to younger gamers and fans of the 16-bit classic The Lost Vikings. A primitive tribe of Gremlin-like creatures called Ooganis ignored the advice of their chiefs and befriended a group of monsters called the Boolis. Once they gained the Ooganis' trust the Boolis killed off the chiefs and enslaved the tribe. You, the Great Spirit of Ooga, have been summoned to set the Ooganis free. You'll be travelling to each village, possessing the Ooganis (you're merely a spirit, after all), and recruiting members for your revolt.

May 20, 2010 - First of all, the guys who made Cloning Clyde, the game that we starred in, are almost done with a brand new game called Ancients of Ooga! And guess what, it's coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace on June 16th! For just 800 Microsoft Points!

May 11, 2010 - We got our first look at Ancients of Ooga back at this year's Game Developer's Conference, but now we've got an early version here in the IGN office to spend some quality time with. This is the next game from NinjaBee, developer of Cloning Clyde and Band of Bugs. It stars a merry band of cavemen – the Ooganis -- that have been tricked into slavery by evil creatures called the Boolis. Recognizing the error of their ways, the Ooganis must set things right with your help using a slew of special powers. Players actually control a spirit body that can leap from caveman to caveman, controlling their actions. From what we've played so far, Ancients of Ooga is looking like a fun puzzle platformer.

March 12, 2010 - At this year's GDC in San Francisco we had a chance to check out Ancients of Ooga, a platformer puzzler from NinjaBee and J Kenworthy Entertainment. In case you're not familiar, NinjaBee was behind some early Xbox Live Arcade games like Outpost Kaloki and Cloning Clyde, and more recently A Kingdom for Keflings. With Ancients of Ooga, the idea is to reproduce some of the character swapping mechanics of Cloning Clyde while giving you a range of abilities to complete challenges and proceed through the game's over 50 stages.

August 31, 2009 - Over three years ago now, NinjaBee and and J. Kenworthy Entertainment delivered a quirky action game to Xbox Live Arcade called Cloning Clyde, which IGN awarded an 8.1. Today the spiritual successor to Cloning Clyde was announced: Ancients of Ooga. The developers aren't ready to release too many details, yet, but they did forward along a piece of concept art showing a cartoon ogre fellow.
